Key science concepts include fossils, paleontology, predators, adaptation, vertebrae, scales, flippers, and prehistoric life. It also describes mosasaur size, diet, body structure, habitat, and fossil discoveries in places like Kansas and South Dakota. This educational science video supports curriculum topics in Earth science and life science by showing how fossil evidence helps explain ancient ecosystems and changes in Earth’s history.
